Notes:
- Available on request for an additional fee.
- E-bikes feature a small electric motor and battery that assist with pedaling, but you still have to pedal yourself. While riding an e-bike can greatly enhance your trip's enjoyment, it is not intended for untrained cyclists, as it is not easy to handle. The engine and battery make the bike much heavier than a regular bike, and it also accelerates faster. Handling it well requires good basic cycling skills and confidence.
Other bikes (e.g. bikes with back pedal brakes, children’s bikes, “slip streamers”, tandems, etc.) and child seats (rear) may be possible upon request and are in very limited numbers.
